Haras, Mary S.
- Abstract
Bed bug infestation is on the rise, affecting individuals across all demographics and geographics worldwide. Of concern is nursing's lack of knowledge about bed bug transmission, prevention, elimination, and the management of bed bug bites. This article explores the evidence about the lifecycle of the bed bug, its typical presentation, and ways to prevent and eliminate bed bug infestation. Ways that the nephrology nurse can assist in eradication and policy development are discussed, and resources are provided for further information.
